Myer, one of our hotel proprietors mayor of our city, etc., is a wise guy and a most successful schemer: The time for planting the large hotel garden being at hand, Henry concluded that most important business at Dallas requir ed his personal attention. So he pursuaded Lee Bilyeu, a silent part ner of the hotel who resides in Lebanon, to come up and take his place, pending the business visit.

Ged des, present incumbent, republican and Walter M. Eaton, democrat, both of Albany, have announced themselves. For coroner, W. M. Fortmiller, of Albany and present incumbent, is the only announced nominee.

Eight Hour Law Upheld Salem, March 17.—The attack of Frank C. Stettler, a paper box manufacturer of Portland, on the constitutionality of the minimum wage law for women and children, failed today when the supreme court upheld the validity of the law. The court also upheld the constitution ality of the 10-hour' law for men employed in mills and factories and all manufacturing plants. Both opinions are based on the same underlying principle that the law does not viodlate the Fourteenth amendment of the federal constitu tion, which provides that “no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or im munities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state derive any person of life, liberty or proper ty without due process of law, or deny to any person within its juris diction equal protection of law.” The court held that the laws proper ly come within the police power of the state.

Oregon’s great natural and scenic wonder, Crater Lake, is shown in a unique and striking manner in a panoramic view recently issued by direction of Secretary Lane.
